Valerie any further," he enquired, turning to. Sir, Claude, "although, as I have shown you, it is good case a -very good case." i As we walked down toward the station Mortimer kicked the stones that lay in his patch in a moody manner, "At any rate, you have found that a detective's life is not entirely a bed of roses," he muttered "It was a beautiful case, tod. If that 'meddlesome woman hadn't interfered I belt ve I could have secured the conviction on the evidence.

Few things amongst the so-called "minor" worries of life are more annoying than stains, whatever their nature; and moreover, in most cases, their worry is only equalled by the mystery attaching to their presence. You put away a dress, as far as you know, in perfect order, and lo! on taking it out again it has developed an inexplicable mark of more or less (generally more) consequence. Nothing was spilt at 5 o'clock tea to your knowlege, yet the next time that teacloth is brought out there is a dark, brownish mark that betrays the presence of tea. One might multiply these examples indefinitely, for stains are various and many, and, as said, before, all but invaribly mysterious in their origin. Unfortunately, this mystery adds largely to the difficulty of removing them.

If a stain, no matter what its nature, is allowed thoroughly to set in any material, its removal is rendered tenfold more hazardous. For this reason a strict rule should be made never to allow a known stain to remain a moment longer than is necessary. No matter how trifling, have it seen to at once, for five minutes' attention bestowed in time will save much trouble and work later. It is a great point in one's favor if the cause of the stain can be made out, ifor naturally on its origin must in "Perhaps the secret of my success, as you are good enough to call it," remarked the eminent detective. Reginald Mortimer "liesin the fact that I never permit myself to form theories.

In this manner I keep myself free from the traps and pitfalls into which a preconceived theory will at limes lead you. the nZTt hin 1. thing attempt to place thein together." "Certainly it is, and that is what must be done. But if you arrange beforehand how you are going to join them the Odds are that you will make a mess of it. My system is to keep each link in the evidence separate until I have collected all that are to be found and then combine them, not to chain each Jink together as it is found.

Do you remember the great diamond robbery in Ilatton Garden, for which Robertson got twenty years? I had quite a series of adventures in bringing that man to book, and but for the fact of a slijrht flaw in one of the stones I would probably, have been completely baffled." "I remember the case to which you refer," I replied. "If I recollect aright, some time after the trial evidence was brought forward showing that the man tj crime, and he received a pardon from the I home secretary."

"It is essential, however, that I should know the movements of every one in the house. I understand you were in the drawing room when her ladyship returned.

When did you go to your own room?" "I did not look at the. time, but it should be about 3 o'clock." "To reach your room you have to pass along this corridor.

An more clues T'l "We'll, yes," he replied. "I venture to think that I have now reached the joining-together stage." Reaching the manor we were shown into the library, where we found Sir Claude seated with a troubled look on his face. "I have just had an interview with Mile. Valerie," he explained. "She has given notice that she is resigning, and declares that she will not leave the house today.

She says she will not stay an-othea day in a place where she is sus-cted of robbery." "Indeed," replied Mortimer, quietly. "Where is she now? Can I see her for a moment?" "I shall ring and ask her to come here. very vexed that this should have happened, for my wife prizes her very highly, and will be extremely sorry to lose her. In a few moments mademoiselle entered the room, holding herself proudly and defiantly. "Mile.

Valerie." said Mortimer in his gentlest tone, "I understand that you are naturally indignant at being suspected of being implicated in the unfortunate robbery. Allow me to assure you that for my part I do not suspect you of being the perpetrator of it I am perfectly certain of the fact." The effect of the latter words was startling. Mademoiselle turned pale and would have fallen had 'I not caught her and assisted her to a couch. Sir Claude stared at the defective in an amazed "Is this really the case he asked after "a 'painful silence; 'I. cannot be lieve Have you any proof of your statement "In the first place it -is evident that the robbery must have taken place between, the hours of 3 and 10 a.

the gas was left burning, and it was turned off by Lady Chetstone herself when retiring. It may be safely assumed, therefore, that the match was placed there after 3 cclock. Further, I find that the match is of a peculiar make, aad the housemaid is certain there is only one box of the kind in the house. That box was last left in the drawing room. It has since been found in mademoiselle's room! "Thirdly, probably you observed the particular attention I paid to that old-fashioned wardrobe.

It struck me that, standing as it does so near the door, a lady entering the room, especially in the dark," wonld be almost certain to brush against it. Adhering to the sharp edges of the ornamental brasswork 1 found pieces of wool which; on examination through the microscope, found to correspond exactly in color nd texture to the dress worn by mademoiselle on the night in question. "Fourthly, it is a well-known fact that a lady can never behold a looking glass without succumbing to the temptation to look at herself in it. Lady Chetstone herself -confesses that on the night in question she did indulge in this essentia lly feminine trait. Now the glass, which is a very small one, was placed at' such an angle as to render it quite impossible for Lady Chetstone, who is rather under average height, to see herself in it.

On-the other hand, it was exactly suited for a person' of made moiselle height. from information received I called at the postofflce this morning, and find that on the day after the robbery mademoiselle dispatched a box. per parcel post addressed to Jnles Valerie in Paris; I have wired 'the- postal oflBeials in Paris to detain this I think it will be found to contain, the missing pearls."

A Lesson in Politeness. The following anecdote culled from an exchange illustrates the power of a kind word uttered In recognition of the simplest service: Several winters ago a woman was coming out from a public tbuildine where the heavy doors swung back and made egress somewhat difficult. A little street urchin sprang up to the rescue, and he held open the door, she said "ihauK you, and passed on.

"D'ye hear that?" said the boy to a companion standing near him. "No; what?" "Why, that lady said Thank ye to the likes o' me." Amused at the conversation, the lady turned and said to the boy: "It always pays to be polite, my boy; remember that." Years passed away, and last December, when doing her Christmas shopping, the same lady received exceptional courtesy from a clerk in Boston, which caused her to remark to a friend who was with her: i "What a great comfort to be civilly treated once in a while though I don't know that I. blame the store clerks fori being rude during the holidays." I The young man's quick ear caught tne woras, ana ne saia: "Pardon me, madam, but you gave me ray first lesson in politeness a few years The lady looked at him. in amazement, while he related the little, forgotten in cident and' told her that that simple hank yon awaaened nis ambition -to be something in the world.
